Did You Know?
Initial Review of Disproportionality in New Mexico’s Child Welfare System
Over- and underrepresentation of racial/ and ethnic groups in the child welfare system has become of growing concern to researchers ( for a review see Hill, 2006). Key issues of interest include identifying where disproportionality of racial and ethnic groups is present, determining why these differences exist, and examining how race/ ethnicity might impact children, once they are in state custody ( e. g. Church II, Gross, & Baldwin, 2005). Researchers have only scratched the surface of these complex issues, and a number of theories regarding disproportionality are currently being considered ( e. g. Hines, Lemon, Wyatt & Merdinger, 2004). However, one of the first steps in researching this issue is to find out where and among which groups over- and underrepresentation exists. Previous national studies have claimed an overrepresentation of Afri- can Americans and Native Americans and an underrepresentation of Non- Latino Whites, Latinos, and Asian/ Pacific Island- ers ( Hill, 2005). However, such research is potentially problematic for broad interpretation as, data relating to ethnic/ cultural groups such as Hispanics/ Latinos, and data from racial groups are often analyzed together. Note that guidance from the United States Census Bureau advises that ethnicity ( Hispanic or non- Hispanic) is a distinct category and should be considered separately from race. In this quarter’s “ Did You Know” the issue of disproportionality and ethnicity is discussed.
Each state is unique when it comes to disproportionality. New Mexico is among a select group of states that is described as “ minority- majority”, meaning that fewer than half of the state population fit into the category of non- Hispanic white. New Mexico is also unique in that Hispanics compose the highest proportion of any state population in the United States. Therefore, it might not be surprising to see an overrepresentation of select mi- nority groups such as Hispanics, in the New Mexico child welfare system com- pared with national numbers. A more informative and contextually appropriate comparison is to examine the proportion and racial/ ethnic composition of children involved with the child welfare agency with the proportion and racial/ ethnic composition of children living in New Mexico. To accomplish this, data for comparison was taken from the most recent state population estimates as published by the Bureau of Business and Eco- nomic Research ( BBER) and the most recent numbers for children served by CYFD Protective Services represented in the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System ( AFCARS).
As displayed in Chart 1 the percentage of Hispanics in the general population in the 0 to 19 age range in New Mexico is esti- mated to have grown by 0.9% between SFY05 and SFY07. However, between SFY05 and SFY08 CYFD, Protective Services has seen a significant increase in the percentage of Hispanic children served, rise from 53.6% in SFY05 to 58.2% SFY08. This 4.6% increase marks a growing disparity between the state population trend and representation of Hispanics in the state’s child welfare system. An examination of overrepresentation at a county level with the most recent data available from BBER ( SFY2007) and AFCARS ( CY2008) reveals that 20 of New Mexico’s 33 counties exhibit an overrepresentation of Hispan- ics, when estimated population comparison is made with actual representation of Hispanics in the child welfare system.

New Mexico CYFD, Protective Services 360 Degrees County Profiles - 2nd Quarter SFY 2009 ( Period ending 12/ 31/ 08) 5
As of 2000 there were ten states identified based on US Census data and AFCARS data in which Hispanics were overrepre- sented ( Hill, 2005). It is likely because Hispanic overrepresentation is rare among states, and because nationally there seems to be an underrepresentation of Hispanics in the child welfare system, that the topic has been the subject of very little re- search. Due to the lack of research, the reason why Hispanics are overrepresented in select states and counties currently is not well understood.
Based on analysis from the most recent AFCARS file ( 12/ 31/ 08) several factors might be co- occurring with identification of children in custody as Hispanic. For example, being identified as Hispanic is significantly correlated with drug abuse of the primary caretaker and with drug abuse of the child ( p<. 01). Addition- ally, as presented in Chart 2 children identified as Hispanic are signifi- cantly more likely to have a family structure of “ single parent” than children not identified as Hispanic ( t ( 4,451)=- 3.1, p<. 01). It should be noted that there is no direct evi- dence that these items should be identified as causal to entrance into the child welfare system. Therefore, any stigma associated among family structure, drug abuse, and ethnicity should be actively discouraged. In fact, not all of these factors are cor- related with one another ( e. g. pa- rental drug abuse does not seem to be correlated with single parent family structure). Instead, it should be recognized that such factors do often co- occur with being identified as a Hispanic child in the custody of Protective Services, and could assist in describing the specific conditions that Hispanic children in the New Mexico child welfare system might face.
There are additional socio- cultural factors unique to the Hispanic population in New Mexico that potentially affect the likeli- hood of involvement with the child welfare agency. As previously mentioned a first step for this understudied topic is to gain an understanding of the context of this unique population. Future study could be directed at reviewing factors associated with over and underrepresentation of minorities in order to best address the needs of those with unique conditions and spe- cific advantages or disadvantages.

There were 7,845 children in the county in 2005: this represents 1.5% of the state’s total children under 18. While the county accounts for 1.5% of the state’s total children under 18, Cibola County had 2.6% of the state’s total children “ in care” as of Decem- ber 31, 2008, which is more than expected, based on population alone.

There were 17,864 children in the county in 2005: this represents 3.5% of the state’s total children under 18. While the county accounts for 3.5% of the state’s total children under 18, Chaves County had 7.1% of the state’s total children “ in care” as of December 31, 2008, which is more than expected, based on population alone.

Did You Know?
Initial Review of Disproportionality in New Mexico’s Child Welfare System
Over- and underrepresentation of racial/ and ethnic groups in the child welfare system has become of growing concern to researchers ( for a review see Hill, 2006). Key issues of interest include identifying where disproportionality of racial and ethnic groups is present, determining why these differences exist, and examining how race/ ethnicity might impact children, once they are in state custody ( e. g. Church II, Gross, & Baldwin, 2005). Researchers have only scratched the surface of these complex issues, and a number of theories regarding disproportionality are currently being considered ( e. g. Hines, Lemon, Wyatt & Merdinger, 2004). However, one of the first steps in researching this issue is to find out where and among which groups over- and underrepresentation exists. Previous national studies have claimed an overrepresentation of Afri- can Americans and Native Americans and an underrepresentation of Non- Latino Whites, Latinos, and Asian/ Pacific Island- ers ( Hill, 2005). However, such research is potentially problematic for broad interpretation as, data relating to ethnic/ cultural groups such as Hispanics/ Latinos, and data from racial groups are often analyzed together. Note that guidance from the United States Census Bureau advises that ethnicity ( Hispanic or non- Hispanic) is a distinct category and should be considered separately from race. In this quarter’s “ Did You Know” the issue of disproportionality and ethnicity is discussed.
Each state is unique when it comes to disproportionality. New Mexico is among a select group of states that is described as “ minority- majority”, meaning that fewer than half of the state population fit into the category of non- Hispanic white. New Mexico is also unique in that Hispanics compose the highest proportion of any state population in the United States. Therefore, it might not be surprising to see an overrepresentation of select mi- nority groups such as Hispanics, in the New Mexico child welfare system com- pared with national numbers. A more informative and contextually appropriate comparison is to examine the proportion and racial/ ethnic composition of children involved with the child welfare agency with the proportion and racial/ ethnic composition of children living in New Mexico. To accomplish this, data for comparison was taken from the most recent state population estimates as published by the Bureau of Business and Eco- nomic Research ( BBER) and the most recent numbers for children served by CYFD Protective Services represented in the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System ( AFCARS).
As displayed in Chart 1 the percentage of Hispanics in the general population in the 0 to 19 age range in New Mexico is esti- mated to have grown by 0.9% between SFY05 and SFY07. However, between SFY05 and SFY08 CYFD, Protective Services has seen a significant increase in the percentage of Hispanic children served, rise from 53.6% in SFY05 to 58.2% SFY08. This 4.6% increase marks a growing disparity between the state population trend and representation of Hispanics in the state’s child welfare system. An examination of overrepresentation at a county level with the most recent data available from BBER ( SFY2007) and AFCARS ( CY2008) reveals that 20 of New Mexico’s 33 counties exhibit an overrepresentation of Hispan- ics, when estimated population comparison is made with actual representation of Hispanics in the child welfare system.

As of 2000 there were ten states identified based on US Census data and AFCARS data in which Hispanics were overrepre- sented ( Hill, 2005). It is likely because Hispanic overrepresentation is rare among states, and because nationally there seems to be an underrepresentation of Hispanics in the child welfare system, that the topic has been the subject of very little re- search. Due to the lack of research, the reason why Hispanics are overrepresented in select states and counties currently is not well understood.
Based on analysis from the most recent AFCARS file ( 12/ 31/ 08) several factors might be co- occurring with identification of children in custody as Hispanic. For example, being identified as Hispanic is significantly correlated with drug abuse of the primary caretaker and with drug abuse of the child ( p
